It is hot outside? Why does it rain? Are tornados and twisters the
same thing? The wonders of weather are explained to young children.
Photos of puffy clouds, dramatic storms, and rainbows alternate with
buoyant portraits of a diverse group of children experiencing the
natural world. Seasons, precipitation, wind, clouds, storms, and climate
change are all introduced in a format that younger children can grasp
from a trusted name in children's nonfiction.
From the author-photographer behind the celebrated Hello Seasons!
series, What's the Weather? continues Shelley Rotner's exploration of
the world around us. Rotner has also worked as a National Geographic
photographer and is a former kindergarten teacher. Back matter includes
a statement from a climatologist and a thorough glossary.
